Build a Backpack: Charity STEM Team Building Activity

STEM Backpacks for Kids is a heart-warming, charitable, team-building program devoted to promoting and emphasizing the importance of education in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

In this unique build-a-backpack charity experience, teams work together to assemble educational STEM kits and school supplies for children ages five to ten. Through fast-paced, interactive challenges, your group will take part in one of the most rewarding STEM team building activities for adults – supporting early learning while strengthening communication, collaboration, and purpose within your team.

Program Agenda

The program kicks off with a high-energy icebreaker to energize the group and build momentum. Teams then engage in fun, collaborative challenges using our browser-based Brainstorm activity and/or Minute 2 Win It games to earn trips to the STEM Store. These mini-games include trivia, photo and video prompts, and puzzles that everyone can enjoy on their own devices – no downloads needed.

As teams collect points, they select from a range of educational supplies to include in the backpacks – from science kits and magnifying glasses to calculators, notebooks, and Rubik’s Cubes. The items have been curated in consultation with agencies nationwide to ensure they’re both age-appropriate and inspiring.

As the final collaborative twist, your entire group will come together to solve a culminating challenge that reinforces teamwork, celebrates your efforts, and can be customized to include your company’s branding or mission.

The result? Dozens (or hundreds!) of thoughtfully packed STEM backpacks—and a team united by purpose.

What is a Keynote Speaker?

Keynote Speaker is an often-misunderstood term associated with simply a motivational speaker, breakout speaker, industry expert, etc. Most professional speakers are not actual trained Keynote Speakers, who are specialists, therefore in much lower supply, and in higher demand.

Keynote Speakers are experienced, professional communicators who engage an audience, capturing the essence of a client’s meeting. They are able to highlight it to their audience while simultaneously delivering their own key concepts and proprietary content in an entertaining and impactful way. Most companies understand that this specialization is very much worth the time (around an hour) and the investment.

In order to capture the perfect essence, a Keynote Speaker spends the necessary time researching a client’s industry, their issues, and their audience to craft a customized presentation into a unique and distinctive moment specifically for the client’s event.

As a top Keynote Speaker, Tom Leu strategically uses compelling storytelling, humor, powerful visuals, audio and video clips, and audience participation elements to weave an impactful message into your event in a fun and memorable way. Tom can also pair his Keynote with Best Corporate Events programming, laying a foundation and setting a tone that best prepares participants for maximum engagement in the forthcoming team events that day.
